Doctrines are a consumer product, offered for 'sale' to anyone who accepts the 'contract' of belief without thought! The only way to a clear understanding of the universe is through personal exploration; clearing the encumberances of 'belief', from the simple truth of reality.

Chew with your gums, old man, in time the bagels will soften up. Ginger and apricot cake is nicer though.

'Though lovers be lost, love shall not.' This came in thirteenth place in the competition for slogans on 'Why you should waste your lonely time in Skegness.'

Though the cake wasn't too dry, we decided to move on. Can you believe the size of those muffins?

Laughing!

Muffins are eaten by many people on English trains. A funny continuity is that they always make a huge mess.

Mess is the old word for meal, from the Latin for table. So they were making a meal of their muffins, were they?

They devoured the muffins ravenously. So, one could say that.

That seems probable. However, in the good old days on British Railways you could get a four course meal for a guinea and still have change for the taxi at Victoria.

'Victoria and her day, things were more civilised 'round then; and it was so cheap.' That's forgetting that pences didn't exactly have the same value as to-day.

To-day was hyphenated in good old Victoria's day. Not, however, in the 21st century except by pedants or members of UKIP.

Today is my day off, what a pleasure it is to have free hours ahead. I will spend some of them putting up my matchstick blinds.

"UKIP", isn't that a common acronym for unruly kittens in pantry? My pantry has no kittens but seems to be home to a mouse.

(Twisted Evil

How dare you classify we pedants-- and I take that to mean 'those who spend much time on rules'-- on the same level as members of UKIP?! They barely know how to read, never mind make a choice on how to spell to-day. Grr Crying or Very sad!)

Roses are blooming for the second, or is it the third, time. It has been an interesting summer so far.

Far, far away, a long, long, time ago, there lived a man who lived in a castle. He was known as the party man, he loved to have parties.
